Christian Melsheimer received his Diplom in Physics from the University of Dortmund, Dortmund, Germany, in 1994 and the PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) degree from the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany, in 1998.
From 1995 to 1998, he was in the Satellite Oceanography group at the Institute of Oceanography of the University of Hamburg, Germany, where his work concentrated on radar imaging of the ocean surface and on remote sensing of rain over the ocean. From 1999 to 2002 he was with the Centre for Remote Imaging, Sensing, and Processing (CRISP) at the National University of Singapore, Singapore, where he studied various oceanic phenomena as visible on satellite radar images and satellite images taken in visible/near-infrared light. Since 2002, he has been with the Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) at the University of Bremen, Germany, where he does research in microwave remote sensing of atmosphere, sea and land, with special emphasis on the polar regions.
